Any brands that sell a rack like the one in the picture? (Edit: what i like from this rack is the mounting points on the frame that will result in a more comfortable ride than carrying the weight on the handlebars or fork))

If not do you recommend someone that can make this without breaking the bank? (I grew up in an agricultural area and there were a lot of folks that could weld something like that for a small fee - but some people online are charging 300+ for this, which is insane)

I don't like any extra weight on the front axis, too. It makes steering less direct and more strenuous and destabilises the bike by a lot. Once rode a bike with a front basket attached to the frame (bike sharing), and that felt much better as the front wheel handled lightly as usual.
